Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has hyped up Fox’s star and former Aberdeen loan hero James Maddison.

The ex-Don has enjoyed a stellar start to the season at the King Power Stadium. His form has allowed him to gain an England call-up, although he didn’t make an appearance for the Three Lions earlier this month.

Now Rodgers has likened him to Phillipe Coutinho, which tells you all you need to know about how the Northern Irishman feels about the ex-Don.

He told the Evening Times: “He has to be consistent, [but he’s] a really humble boy, has a lovely swagger, a lovely arrogance, and he is a good kid who will get better. He loves his football.

“He’s the type of player who will drift from position to position. I remember working with Coutinho at Liverpool, sometimes he’d play inside, sometimes he’d drift off the side.
